Township board imposes temporary moratorium on storage containers
Summary
Millington Township Board voted to place and enforce a temporary moratorium on shipping/Conex storage containers while the Planning Commission prepares a public workshop and considers a permanent policy.
The Millington Township Board voted Nov. 18 to impose and enforce a temporary moratorium on the use of shipping-style storage containers on township property while the Planning Commission develops policy and holds a public workshop.
Supervisor R. Loomis told the board the Planning Commission has been discussing whether to allow or prohibit Conex-style containers and asked the board for a moratorium while the commission seeks public input, possibly at a Jan. 13, 2025 workshop. The board approved the moratorium on a unanimous voice vote.
The action followed public concern about property uses and the Planning Commission’s request that enforcement accompany the moratorium until a clear direction is adopted. The board did not adopt specific size, placement or permitting rules at this meeting; those details will be decided after the Planning Commission’s review and the planned public workshop.
Next steps: the Planning Commission will hold a public workshop to gather input and then return recommendations to the board, which will consider any ordinance language or permit requirements before lifting or replacing the moratorium.
